Abstract:
The invention relates to a gas filling and distribution head which is intended to be disposed in a hole in a pressurised gas storage tank (1). The inventive head (2) includes a mounting segment (21) which is intended to be housed in the hole in the tank and an expansion segment which houses a pre-expansion device (22), said pre-expansion device (22) being arranged in relation to the mounting segment (21) such as to be housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position. The invention is characterised in that it includes a connection interface (3) that is intended to co-operate removably with a control device for filling the tank the with gas and/or extracting gas from same.
Abstract:
A valving arrangement for a mobile gas supply system includes a primary inlet port, a primary outlet port, a regulator, a secondary inlet port, and a secondary outlet port. The primary inlet port is adapted to be connected to a gas cylinder. The primary outlet port is in fluid communication with the primary inlet port and is adapted to be connected to one or more accessories for delivering gas from the gas cylinder. The regulator is disposed between the primary inlet port and the primary outlet port for reducing the pressure of the gas delivered by the gas cylinder to the primary inlet port. The secondary inlet port is in fluid communication with the primary outlet port. The secondary outlet port is in fluid communication with the primary outlet port and the secondary inlet port. The secondary inlet and secondary outlet ports are adapted for connecting the valving arrangement to one or more additional gas cylinders.

The head (2) also includes: a filling circuit which extends between a first end which is equipped with a filling hole (6) and a second end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank, and an extraction circuit which extends between a first end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank and a second end which is equipped with an extraction hole. The invention is characterised in that the filling hole (6) is aligned with the extraction hole.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for storing and distributing a high-purity pressurised liquefied gas at a rate which is higher than or equal to 1 kg/h, said device having: a container (2) comprising a liquefied phase (G L ) of said gas in its lower part (3), and a gaseous phase (G g ) of said gas in its upper part (4), a system for bleeding (5) the gaseous phase (G g ) of said gas, and a heating system (6) used to maintain a constant pressure of the gas at the moment of use. The invention is characterised in that the heating system (6) involves the circulation of a hot fluid in a circuit built into the surface (2) of the container.
Abstract:
The invention relates in particular to a tank (1) for storing fluids under high-pressure conditions, having a generally cylindrical shape and a round cross-section. Each end of the longitudinal axis (2) of the tank includes a metal end-piece (3, 4), a liner (6) surrounding each end-piece and a structural layer (7) made from fibre impregnated with thermosetting resin that surrounds the liner.
Abstract:
A system for the solid state storage of hydrogen in accordance with several exemplary embodiments is disclosed herein. The system includes a plurality of hydrogen storage containers. Each hydrogen storage container of the plurality of hydrogen storage containers has an inner chamber and an inlet. The inlet provides a pathway for introducing hydrogen gas into the inner chamber. The inner chamber having a solid hydrogen storage medium disposed therein. The system further includes an endplate manifold having a hydrogen receiving port, a plurality of hydrogen outlet ports, and a flow channel. The hydrogen flow channel is integrated into the endplate manifold. Each hydrogen outlet port is in fluid communication with the inlet of one of the plurality of hydrogen storage containers. The hydrogen flow channel provides fluid communication between the hydrogen receiving port and each hydrogen outlet port.
